The NERBs Massachusettes Gathering 4-18

Next Saturday the 18th up in Leominster. Anyone interested, e-mail me at xlrods@yahoo.com. Below are a couple of topics I've been asked to about, if there is somethign you want to see tell me and I'll come prepared.

I will be doing a presentation on Decorative Wraps where I will try a new way to cover the topic - I'm going to actually do an entire wrap from A to Z, my way. This will be boring, but it will give everyone a chance to look over my shoulder and see my technique. I will do a short butterfly wrap, which I should be able to get set up, packed, closed, and tied off in less than an hour. The entire presentation should take about 2 hours with the questions - I usually take about 90 minutes on Q & A on this topic, I think doing it this way will reduce questions and give people more info.

VisualWRap - will be doing a Demo on this program for those interested, I've recieved a few questions already form MAss guys, so now's a great time to get first hand answers.

I have a LOT of other stuff I can talk about, I have many new products coming out: blanks, thread, foam, grip inlay jigs, new guides, CP, EVA and foam - I've been busy.

Billy, I hope that every one has a good time it should be a great time. Any time you can get a group of builders together it's going to be a good time.

MJ I can feel for Sparky, I think he really needs to go to the gathering I'm sure that there will be plenty of thread that needs to be removed (lol).


Nerbs it's not a club, it's a state of mind.

Billy,
I wish I could make it. I guarantee if the job sends me back that way I will be there. I really enjoyed the NJ gathering. For those of you undecided if you want to attend a NERBS event what are you waiting for? This is a great group, and I am sure you will learn more than you can retain.
